All day 

the little white lambs ate grass. 
They walked beside their mothers. 


1 




Billy Black Lamb was not white. 
He did not eat grass. 

He did not walk beside his mother. 


2 


All day 


he jumped, 



and ran, 




and played. 


3 





One morning Billy's mother said, 
"Billy, you do not walk beside me. 
You do not eat grass. 

Today you must stay at home. 

You may not go with me." 


4 


"That is good," 
said Billy Black Lamb. 
"Today I will run, 




5 


"First I will run/' he said. 
"I will run around things." 



So he ran around the hogan. 



He ran around the wagon. 


6 




And he ran around Sleepy Old Horse. 


7 




"Now I will run under things," 


he said. 



He ran under a rock. 



He ran under the wagon. 


8 








He ran under the big tree 



And he ran 

under Sleepy Old Horse. 

9 



"Now I will jump," he said. 



He jumped over a bush. 



He jumped over a rock. 


10 








He jumped 

over a rolled-up sheepskin. 



He did not jump 
over Sleepy Old Horse. 

Sleepy Old Horse was too tall. 


11 





“Now I will play / 7 he said. 
“I will play in front of things / 7 



So he played in front of the hogan. 


12 




He played in front of the wagon. 



And he played in front 
of Sleepy Old Horse. 


13 



"Now I will play behind things," 
he said. 



He played behind the hogan. 


14 



V 


He played behind the wagon. 



And he played 
behind Sleepy Old Horse. 


15 


In the evening 

the white sheep came back. 
They went into the corral. 



The boy went into the hogan. 



16 


The sun went behind the hill. 



Billy Black Lamb lay 
beside his mother. 



17 



'S> 



"Today I ran and jumped and played 
as much as I wanted to," he thought. 
"Tomorrow I will walk beside my 
mother and eat grass."
